THE SENTINAL

Theater: Carmike Cinemas Wynnsong 11, Savannah, Georgia

Yes, I realize the movie is called The Sentinel ... but this is what the marquee said, and it's what is on my ticket stub ... so I won't be one to argue with Georgia's education system.

Michael Douglas is a Secret Service agent on a mission to uncover a ... plot to kill the president! Figure that. But the trailers sell it as a sort of man on the run movie, when the running doesn't even start until halfway through the movie.

The supporting cast is decent, from Kim Basinger as an unfaithful First Lady to Kiefer Sutherland and Eva Longoria as SS Investigators tracking down a killer, and then finally Douglas.

The movie is at its best when you see Douglas pull a Fugitive trying to clear his name and track down the bad guys, but sadly it takes a while to get going.

See it if - you want a decent thriller.
Rent it if - you like your Douglas aged ... more than he already is.
